[z3nk1dr1ft]

YouTube - Ken Block Gymkhana Practice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jAImScms)

[SammyGreen]

[z3nk1dr1ft]

i was left quite speechless.

[andmattsayd]

just saw this on VRT and it was INSANE.

[dirtdiggler666]

wow now that looks like fun

[sliEighty]

thank you for that ha wow

[ROIDMONKEY]

please...can some one send that vid to samuel,Ken,tanner,rhys, and all of the fd fuckers please!!!!

[BoostSlideWayz]

Jeeeeeezz... that got me sooo pumped!!! What do they just buy an air port strip and have fun ?? If its in cali im down to ask him if i can drift there ha. Id probly go down in shame cuz then hed show me up.

[94cc0rd]

i thought that was el toro afb.

but yea, i just watched that video and was going to post it here as well. amazing driving!

[foreverdark]

OMG that video is so sick! AWD drifting FTW!

[JeremyR]

ken block's really been comin up in the car world past few years.. +1

[slider2828]

I dunno its kewl, but nothing amazing...

I mean you gotta look at some of the WRC stuff.... its a control tested environment not like a WRC where te conditions change by the minute like look at Tommi Makinnen or Peter Solsberg or other folks....

[ROIDMONKEY]

I dunno its kewl, but nothing amazing...

LOL whatever ... nothing amazing!!!!

[96Turbo]

that's was f'ing insane. thank you. the way he rips that thing around reminds me of an R/C car. That thing must be setup so perfectly

[AWSneer]

I think thats really cool. This is the first time I have ever heard of gymkhana. Good stuff.

[dirtdiggler666]

i really wonder if the whole video was one try

or a bunch of laps edit for best video???

[rightcoastimports]

That is some crazy driving... so precise.

[DeeJay1337]

Wow that guy is like just wow!

[holaback]

I dunno its kewl, but nothing amazing...

Don't get me wrong it's some amazing driving and I really enjoyed the video but it's amazing how multiple car angles and views and professional editing can make a video so much more exciting to watch. If the same video is is all one shot it would have bar far less exciting but great driving none the less.

[Jonnyblaze]

i thought that was el toro afb.

but yea, i just watched that video and was going to post it here as well. amazing driving!
El Toro was actually a MCAS.

[nsBlitzz]

:bowrofl:*click favorite!

[S14Josh]

Definitely was not one single take.

Regardless that shit was off the wall!!!!! I don't care how many takes, how many screw ups, whatever. That was dope.

The clip of him bombing in BACKWARDS on that cone was ridiculous.

[KA-T_240]

OMG.....

That is probably the best video I have watched in a LONG TIME!

Ken Block is a cool dude! I was at the Rally America Races up here sitting 3-4 feet from Him, pastrana, and 3-4 other major Rally drivers... It was one hell of a conversation.

[handinpants]

and how many of you guys knew that Ken Block is the owner of DC Shoes? check out some of his other videos like this one YouTube - [0-60] Ken Block's snowboard/rally bit from DC's Mtn.Lab 1.5 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0VsTxJd78&NR=1)

[ericcastro]

Ken came and Drifted with us at 626DRIFT in this car. Testing it for the first time during the Soobie fest.

626DRIFT events FTW !!!!!!!!!!!

[Xbroke_kidX]

:eek::aw:
holy crap.
haha nice video

[Fries]

THAT FUCKING VIDEO!
I love the shot where the 4 or so boarders hit that jump then you see this fucking STI fly in the air behind them!!!

Ken Block is a cool cat though. Gym video was not done in one take, but fuck it. Bad ass!

[EDacIouSX]

that vid's still cool.

[JRas]

I'd usually state we have an off-topic video thread, but this video was awesome

I'm truly jealous

[imnotmatt1189]

The clip of him bombing in BACKWARDS on that cone was ridiculous.

+23847823659231 on that! OMG!!!

[Jimmy Up]

that was fuckin big time

[nisans13turbo]

um............
.
.
.....I forgot what I was gonna say!

Just wow!

[kaking]

[J-Team]

[z3nk1dr1ft]

i really wonder if the whole video was one try

or a bunch of laps edit for best video???

Ken Block doin his thing.

YouTube - Ken Block Gymkhana Practice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs-jAImScms)


Thats BA:fawk:

[TheRonTom31]

that was just ridiculous.

* goes to try it in his beaten 92 legacy wagon daily.

[!Zar!]

Yeah.

Mastering car control is a must if you wish to compete in the WRC.

Angle or not, it's still car control.

If he didn't have that and tried going fast on any given stage, next thing you know he'd be flying off of a cliff in Switzerland.

[twotoes]

omg badass! The other day in Waynesville MO at the Smitty's parking lot there was a huge car hauling truck with a huge monster and DC vinyl down the side and on the driver door an american flag with Block written next to it. I guess they are getting ready for the "100 acre woods" rally race or something.

[Pho Man]

I just saw this video also, from tristatetuners.com Man that's insane awesome control of the car and those pin point u turns just inches from the cones!

[Bubbles]

That thing must be setup so perfectly

That's what I'm thinking.

I wonder how much money is in that thing. :snoop:

[Maiku240sxS14]

very cool vid...thanks for posting!

[allntrlundrgrnd]

holy shit.

rad would be a complete understatement

[MikeisNissan]

wow i wish i could do that.

[240sxdriftin]

saw this video yesterday and now its everywhere on forums lol...so amazing, it leaves me in awe everytime i watch it...i'm sold i'm buying an sti!

[adam bergener]

that was rediculous i never seen gymkhana like htat usually i see it like smaller parking lots at like 20 30

[zugoi]

Man i could do all that in my sleep.


In real life I'd crash and burn tho.

[wgJoY]

holy jesus. goddamn. I was clenching when he pulled those 360's in that tight 90 degree setup thing.

[Goldeneye9mm]

i would give my left nut just to be half that awsome. that first drift looked like it was at 150 mph.....:rawk: he is my new hero

[z3nk1dr1ft]

i just wanna go for a ride with him.

[bl3ujay07]

I dunno its kewl, but nothing amazing...

I mean you gotta look at some of the WRC stuff.... its a control tested environment not like a WRC where te conditions change by the minute like look at Tommi Makinnen or Peter Solsberg or other folks....

u insane!!! That was one CRAZY A$$ video and driving. That wasnt just a badass video, its a SUPER BADASS video.

that was just ridiculous.

* goes to try it in his beaten 92 legacy wagon daily.

post up some vidz too lol.

[smellslikecurry]

he mentioned in another vid that car costs about 150grand

then he totalled it on a miscalculated jump

[allntrlundrgrnd]

he jumped an sti 171 feet also.

[nismo 240sx]

sick! i would say one of the sickest ive seen..

[JDS Performance]

All I can say is HOLY SHIT!!!

[240cracker]

FUCKKK

[LS240]

I dunno its kewl, but nothing amazing...

Errrrr...Ken Block is a professional rally driver, duh.

Man i could do all that in my sleep.


In real life I'd crash and burn tho.

See this is why we need the rep system! Hilarious.

[qwikspool]

video is bad ass

[Creizai]

Overall great video. Originalish idea, Great filming, great editing, great driving. Perfect match! If this isn't a suby add I don't know what is.

[Teddy]

that is a different car than his usual rally car.
he had that car build specifically for gymkanna.




-ericcastro posting on teddys account-

[ROUGE180]

and I just picked my jaw up off the ground.. that was pretty damn sick WRC or not.

[2toneluv]

daaamn that video was mind blowing! best i have seen in a while

[thatnismoguy]

wow. (that was an understatement)
WRC is insane, we all know that.
Ken Block and this vid. crazy.
hes gotta keep hittin the PWRC
and maybe we'll finally see a U.S. driver in the WRC
btw the segway segment threw me. hilarious/awesome. lol

[96Turbo]

the first drift of the video where he goes past 90* angle :eek:

when he slides in backwards inches away from the cone and takes off smoothly :eek2:

when he initiates a drift well before he can even see around that house and smoothly slides around the whole thing :eek2:

those BFG's screaming for mercy :eek2:

CAR_CONTROL :eek2:

seriously......i mean really??.....wtf??

[initial_drifter]

Anybody else getting pumped up by this?

I wonder if this will start a "Subie" crazy like Tokyo Drift

[96Turbo]

Has ken block ever been on TopGear? I bet he could make that suzuki Liana his bitch

[ericcastro]

when he initiates a drift well before he can even see around that house and smoothly slides around the whole thing :eek2:



you mean when he's not gonna make the drift past the house, then they cut to another shot and he's flying well beyond it??
lol

still pretty cool. great production value.

[96Turbo]

you mean when he's not gonna make the drift past the house, then they cut to another shot and he's flying well beyond it??
lol

still pretty cool. great production value.

i dunno man...i watched that part about 30 times and it looks pretty smooth to me.....

i agree that the shot of him exiting past the house is a different run, but the initiation is pure badass

[ericcastro]

Im actually most impressed with the first shot of his entry into the warehouse for the 360.
For the speed he is traveling he gets his ass end close to the door entereing.

I also think his entry into the donuts around the segway is a little,....edited? lol
But its pretty awsome. Like I stated before, it was awsome to stand on the track and watch him in that car.

[sylsevilsis]

wow... that's some great skills. The first drift really set the mood for the rest.

[boozels]

holy ish
that was amazing
watched it like 5 times
hahaha
too sick!!!!

[derek_s13]

this video is the std of the internet.






entertaining to see what awd car control can acheive.

[240sxvaj]

[JRas]

when he slides in backwards inches away from the cone and takes off smoothly :eek2:

dude, i would not be surprised if he bought an airport strip to fuck around in! have you seen his winter home? his fucking backyard is a A FUCKING SNOW PARK! jibs, jumps, rails, etc. oh and did i mention he jumps his cars off the same jumps he goes snowboarding off of?

what/who do you want to be when you grow up?

KEN fucking [email protected]#$% (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av0VsTxJd78&feature=related)

[S14Driftr91]

[jdm 240sx]

Same here and now i want to see more of has videos.

[89PiGGy]

This is the most badass video i seen in a long time! I also like the video of Ken Block on the ski slopes

[s13 @ fullboost]

lol look at face when he does the first donut haha he is just like " ahh just another rough day at the office" lol

[Sonic Motor]

did you know....

Ken block loves to fucking do donuts in his subbie (thats what the boss at crawford told me, when they asked me to let them drive at balcony). AWD donuts are pretty epic...

[INeedNewTires]

i really wonder if the whole video was one try

or a bunch of laps edit for best video???

3 sets of tires. it was several film clips cut and pasted together.


4 sets of tires, as many takes as they could muster out of that, but all in all AMAZING!

[cooper4x]

shows a couple mess ups in slow motion. still one awesome ride for sure.

http://www.crawfordperformance.com/videos/browse?movieid=112
